Families

Warm blooded creatures mainly look after their babies until they are able to look after themselves.

When human babies are born they cannot take care of themselves. They need to be cared for by their family until they are old enough to take care of themselves. Maybe they have one parent, maybe two. Maybe other people also care of them.
